Questions answered? Let's get started!
Two Vermont owners can sign one enhanced life estate deed that reserves, to themselves and to the survivor of them, a life estate and the full right to convey, while naming who takes the property when the second of them dies. This form prepares that two-grantor deed under 27 V.S.A. chapter 6, the Enhanced Life Estate Deed Act, using the operative language of the optional statutory form in section 660.
A reservation that runs to the survivor
The statutory reserved rights clause on this deed reads in the plural: the Grantors, or the survivor of them, reserve a common law life estate with the exclusive use, possession, and enjoyment of the property, together with the right to convey it. That wording is what carries the arrangement across the first death. When one grantor dies, nothing changes hands and nothing is filed in probate; the surviving grantor holds the same reserved life estate and the same unrestricted power to sell, mortgage, lease, gift, revise, or revoke, all without the grantees' signature, consent, or knowledge. Only at the death of the last surviving grantor does title vest in the grantees, outside probate and subject to encumbrances then of record.
Lifetime control with statutory certainty
Vermont wrote this instrument into statute in 2020, replacing a common law practice known locally as the lady bird deed, the Medicaid deed, or the life estate deed with reserved powers; the statute calls it an enhanced life estate deed, or ELE Deed. Section 654 states the lifetime effect directly: a recorded ELE deed does not affect the ownership rights of the grantors or their creditors, transfers no present interest to the grantees, and does not expose the property to the grantees' creditors. Section 655 adds that a grantee cannot sell or encumber the contingent remainder while a grantor lives; an attempt is void. The grantors revoke by recording a deed to themselves, or revise by recording a new deed that names all intended grantees, and a mortgage granted later encumbers the property without disturbing the deed. A revocation or revision instrument is prepared and recorded separately and is not included in this package.
The two-grantor configuration
The form recites exactly two record owners as grantors. Both sign, and the deed carries an acknowledgment certificate for each signer, so the two grantors may acknowledge on different dates, before different notaries, or in different states. The grantee section names one or more remainder takers and states the nature of tenancy in which they will hold when title vests: fee simple for a single grantee, or tenants in common, joint tenants with right of survivorship, or another recognized Vermont form for several. The statute supplies its own defaults when a grantee dies first, including a survivorship default for joint tenant grantees. Spouses holding a Vermont home as tenants by the entirety and planning for it to pass to their children present the pattern this deed recites, and two co-owners of a family camp consolidating its succession present another; where the grantors are married and the property is a homestead, the two signatures also carry the spousal joinder that 27 V.S.A. sections 141 and 349 describe. A sole owner's enhanced life estate deed follows a different single-grantor pattern than the two-grantor architecture this form recites.
Recording at the town clerk
Vermont records deeds by town or city, not by county, so this deed goes to the clerk of the municipality where the land lies, at fifteen dollars per page. The clerk cannot record it without a completed Vermont Property Transfer Tax Return, filed with its own fifteen dollar fee, and the statute makes a recorded enhanced life estate deed expressly subject to the property transfer tax. Where the deed is later revoked or revised, Vermont law supplies a petition route for refunding tax paid on the enhanced life estate interest. The deed is formatted for Vermont town land records, with the first page reserving space for the clerk's recording information.
The download includes the two-grantor deed as a fillable PDF, a completed example showing the entire document filled in for a realistic Chittenden County fact pattern, and a plain language guide that walks through every numbered section, the notarization, and the transfer tax return that accompanies recording. The materials are informational and are not legal advice.

Thank you! My husband and I went in the get notary stamps for a Special Warranty Deed and a Post Nuptial Agreement. The representative was very knowledgeable and thorough with the notary process. She made sure we read and understood all documents that we were signing and they required us to recite in sworn statements that everything there was true and understood! I will be using the notary service again at Bank of America! The representative was very respectful and had a nice smile the entire time to make our visit great!
Thank you!

Good site. Two things to note. 1. The Documentary Transfer Tax Exemption sheet, the word "computer" is used when I think it should be "computed" Error in state form? 2. The California Trust Guide could have a watermark which is less distracting. Kind of hard to read the print with the DEEDS.COM logo so prominent.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I purchased the DIY quitclaim deed forms for Florida and couldn’t be happier. The forms were clear, professional, and easy to follow. I had everything filled out and recorded without a single issue. Worth every penny — the site is great, and the forms are exactly what I needed. Highly recommend!
Thanks so much, Ed! We’re thrilled to hear that the Florida quitclaim deed forms worked perfectly for you and that the recording process went smoothly. We appreciate your trust and recommendation!
